We have a big, ancient, ornate mirror we bought and sprayed bright lime green and about a hundred pictures of friends, family and holidays all in various lime green frames that cover one wall.

White walls, dark wood and a runner on the stairs. I have loads of mirrors to try and reflect what little light there is. I am frequently tempted to paint all the woodwork white. It would transform the whole house.

I can't quite bring myself to do it though. I lack courage
